Llanera de Ranes between Museums, the Old Town and the Canyoles Valley

In Llanera de Ranes, the Luis Perales Ethnological Museum Collection occupies an entire three-storey building. The Luis Perales Ethnological Museum presents the popular and traditional culture of Llanera de Ranes and the comarca. Its collection was assembled over more than 40 years and primarily comprises everyday objects from agriculture.

Culture and townscape

The old town also preserves remarkable testimonies to the past: religious ceramic wayside shrines from the 19th century stand on Carrer Santa Teresa and Carrer del Crist. The parish church of San Juan Bautista dates from the 18th century and was built in the neoclassical style. A small museum in Llanera de Ranes is dedicated to the work of the Valencian watercolour painter Rafael Boluda. In the Rafel Boluda Museum, selected works by other artists are shown alongside works by Rafael Boluda. A didactic exhibition there focuses on the development of Boluda’s work and oeuvre.

The local tradition also includes the national Arnadí competition. In sport, the Federació de Pilota Valenciana lists Club Cpv Llanera in Llanera de Ranes. Culture, local customs and Valencian club history thus appear as different facets of the same place.
